@ccc Can you elaborate on that? That looks similar to what I have, though, a little more compact. Are you saying that addresses the cloud sync issue here?

@cvp Thanks! That sounds like an interesting approach. I could append something unique each time and then when loading load the one with the largest unique value. I'll give that a try.

@nizz71 Yes None = nil

It does not crash with

x = fileManager.contentsOfDirectoryAtPath_error_(param,None)

But returns None, thus that does not help 😢

@pyfonista just an idea, probably silly, try %26 instead &

I know I’m way late, but try either the os or the pathlib module to create a symlink, this makes it so you can edit files in a local directory but still have them sync with the files app.

@cvp , I understand. But I am still very happy. This will only be a matter of weeks before this stuff is working very well. Just to have the option is such a break through I think. I think the tech is secondary to the will to do it. The tech will get sorted out, the will to open the door has been the biggest issue:)

do report back on your experiments ... reading through the docs, i believe iCloud support had to be enabled in the info.plist for this to work. also it seems perhaps the app must be released in the app store.
